| A higher mesophyll resistance in woody plants than in herbs, and in sclerophylls than in mesophytes, has been reported. |
| Gap capture by Quercus was restricted to relatively xeric sites that did not contain abundant shade-tolerant mesophytes in the understory. |
| In the case of mesophytes, it was found that they contain three types of benzoquinones: cyperoquinone, dietchequinone, and remirin. |
| The plants that are adapted for living in these habitats are called xerophytes, mesophytes, and hydrophytes, respectively. |
| The values measured lie within the mainstream range for bryophytes of similar habitats and of vascular mesophytes. |
| Interestingly, unlike mesophytes, none of the hydrophytes showed ability to accumulate proline. |
